Thanks. That's a lot of useful info. Where do I find your UK 2015
Gallery -- Scottish Woods?

I no longer have the Bay Roes on my computer, but as I recall, the last print I
had done by them was greens, yellows (as part of the green) and blues. It's in
my UK 2015 gallery--Scottish Woods. There are two of them. The print I had made
was a slightly different angle, and less yellow than is showing on my phone
screen. It was Canson BFK Rives matte. Slightly warm. I like the print very
much. I also had them print an iPhone image, 8x10, same paper. This for a
customer who wanted a print for her husband of one of my Facebook posts. She
was over the moon. I thought it was very well done.
I suggest calling a couple of labs, telling them what you want, and perhaps
springing for a test print or two. You wouldn't have to do the whole pano,
just, say, 8x10 section, and see how it comes out.
It's something of a crapshoot, but talking to humans at the lab can increase
your odds of success. The couple of times I talked to Bay, they were helpful,
and seemed to know their stuff. But I'm getting farther away from that world
now.

When printing a pano we're most likely talking about a landscape. The pano I'm
interested in printing is the area called "Live Oak Allee" at Brookgreen
Gardens in Murrells Inlet, SC. I'll post a picture after I'm through with the editing
but for the moment it's a couple of rows of Southern Live Oaks that are 2-300 years old
and originally formed the approach to a rice plantation manor house. Brookgreen Gardens
is a sculpture garden built upon the land that originally made up 3 adjacent rice
plantations.
What I need to depict is 90% Live Oak trees and Spanish moss with a lot of
grass and white/yellow daffodils at ground level. I've done very few landscape
prints but when I have I've chosen a matte paper or a matte finish on canvas.
To the best of my knowledge I've never even seen a print on metallic paper let alone
the 16 papers/finishes offered by Bay Photo
<https://www.bayphoto.com/prints/fine-art-prints/>
Does anyone have a suggestion for a totally smashing surface for a mostly green
landscape? Bob! Where are you? :-)
